for unqualified people to replace them, while they may be trying to do the right thing, you are going to end up with more and more of a hodgepodge, such as the door that was replaced there. the door is of inferior quality, though it looks like the original door. it was much heavier and larger and in the front of the plane of the building. it was not recessed back. qualified people need to determine how to put this together. one unqualified people do it, we end up with a standard that is not acceptable. >> where they replaced the door with the same kind, that is 735. the 731 commercial, that is the one that has already been replaced. >> thank you. >> the original door still read -- still exists. >> i was going to ask that question of the property owner. >> i read your brief twice. it was not that clear to me exactly what you are asking for. but me summarize -- let me summarize it nancy if these are your issues. you showed the door, which you said was flushed. the new door was added under which permit? >> under no permit that i am aware. it is claimed that that was done under a later pe

the cost of unqualified u.s.support for israel long has been measured only in dollars and political capital and, as such, has been largely ignored by americans. but we are now in a situation where the cost of support for israel is or soon will be measured in the lives of american parents' children. that cost, e think, will -- i think, will quickly become obvious and utterly unacceptable to those parents. fourth, finally and i think most important, the u.s. government and its european allies must stop trying to spread democracy abroad by military, financial, humanitarian or political intervention. no young american man or woman should die for the insane goal of giving the people of iraq and afghanistan a possibility of embracing democracy. a phrase used ad infinitum by u.s. presidents and other western leaders. no small r republican government like our own has the right to spend the lives of its young in military crusades for patently unobtainable abstractions such as giving gender equality and democracy to foreig
